Devils Pride 26 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hey guys. You can give my spot away to someone else, I don't think I'll have the time between school and work. It wouldn't be fair to abandon it for days at a time. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilswede Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'd like to be at the draft live so to speak.. If you could make the draft more European friendly it would be awesome. I'm 6 hours ahead of you guys... Cut me some slack here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) In the meantime we need the last straggler to sign up (of the nineteen remaining invites) or decline, and one more player to fill the last spot. Plus I want to keep track of who's who...I can figure out most of the teams based on past participation or using their own screenames as the team name but who are Bracknell Blizzards, DogGoneLivesOn and devils?

aylbert Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I am mocked in my leagues because I use 'Sworn Defenders' for every team, every year... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevil26 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I joined a league created by someone on Twitter. I think it's pretty good. I have: Briere, Savard, Elias, Parise, Latendresse, Fehr, Pronger, Corvo, Burrows, Ference, Burns, Goligoski, Lucic, Kadri, Brule, Niskanen, Modano, Wilson, Ennis. The part that sucks is my goalies are Biron and Roloson. Meanwhile someone has Lundqvist AND Miller haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how deep your league is, but I'm sorry to say, that team looks pretty brutal to me. No offense, but it is. Parise and Pronger are pretty much the only ones that will give you a lot of support. And you won't get anywhere with Roloson and Biron as your goalies.

NJDevs4978 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 And now that we're all set, without any further ado here's the draft order...note since Yahoo! has a snaking draft this is the order for all odd numbered rounds, including the first round. It inverses for even-numbered rounds, so for example I get the first pick of the draft and the last pick of the second round. Then the first pick of the third round and so forth. As per tradition the league winner gets to pick where they draft though every year we've done this the league winner has opted for the top spot and I'm no exception this year. Everyone else I randomized by putting a team name on a piece of paper, turning them over, shuffling them and coming up with this order. 1. New Jersey Swamps 2. bdubdevs 3. devils 4. Extreme Reds 5. DogGoneLivesOn 6. Dynamo Nation 7. halfsharkalligator 8. Cali Hippies 9. dutch swedes 10. par99 11. NeoThrashers 12. Sworn Defenders 13. Lad's Pad 14. Bracknell Blizzards 15. PattyElias26 16. Don't Toews Me Bro! 17. Devilswede 18. The Six 19. Sabre Status Quos 20. Pat Zajac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aylbert Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I'll take that... 20 team drafts exceed any term deep league could cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I think I was 5th last year, and that did not work out so well, ( becuase I missee the 1st 2 rounds!) Has have you set a definite draft time yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has have you set a definite draft time yet? Ideally I want to set it like seven days before the draft so someone doesn't get thrown by a last-minute switch. Right now it's listed as Thursday the 30th but it's subject to change, so read your PM's...the more of you that respond, the better a consensus I can get on a good draft time for the majority. So far I've only heard from the Swedes and a couple others on the board. A couple years ago we had pretty good attendance at the live draft - at least 15-16 teams. Last year I think it was more like 12 so hopefully we can get closer to the 15-16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastdevfan Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 18th? the fix is in! btw changed my name to the Seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) 14th wont be too bad, i think i was around that area two years ago, time to start planning. Also i couldn't figure out autodraft for the life of me , so i will be up stupidly late doing it manually.

brickwall30 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 So i'm assuming this one is already set, is someone making a second league that all us stragglers who didn't make it in time can join (I'd make it but I have no idea how to run a league ... sorta like Bettman)?

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Ok i realised autodraft just works off your pre draft rankings, so i tried again, and realised that it wont get me a very ballanced team. i am litterally going to have to set my alarm for 3am and then draft!! then get up at 7.30am to go paintballing.

NJDevs4978 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Draft is 10 PM tonight, folks...time to get this sucker rolling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 so thats probably 5am... or 4am for me how long does a draft take normally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) It was two and a half hours exactly last year...I think it's been around that time most years, considering it's twenty teams and eighteen rounds (360 picks total). That's why I initially didn't want to do it too late but on a Friday I think we can manage. I wonder how long Kovy will last in the draft? I'll end some of the suspense now and state publicly his running buddy in Russia this offseason will be the first pick Edited October 1, 2010 by Hasan4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
